LANDMARKS IN THE BIBLE THAT ALSO

GIVE US HIGH POINTS SO THAT
WE CAN KNOW WHERE WE ARE IN THE
00:00:50.91\00:00:55.68
BIBLICAL CONTINUUM OF HISTORY,
AND THAT'S WHAT OUR LESSON IS
00:00:55.72\00:01:00.26
BASED ON TONIGHT.
00:01:00.29\00:01:01.46
THERE WAS A DREAM THAT WAS GIVEN
TO AN ANCIENT KING BY THE NAME
00:01:01.49\00:01:06.43
OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR -
THE DREAM OF THE AGES .
00:01:06.46\00:01:10.63
THERE ARE SEVERAL TIMES IN
HISTORY WHEN GOD GIVES LEADERS
00:01:10.67\00:01:13.74
AND MONARCHS DREAMS TO HELP THEM
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING SO
00:01:13.77\00:01:18.37
THAT THEY CAN SHARE AND
DISSEMINATE THAT INFORMATION
00:01:18.41\00:01:20.51
WITH THEIR PEOPLE, SO THAT
PEOPLE WILL NOT THINK THAT LIFE
00:01:20.54\00:01:23.48
IS JUST A SERIES OF
MEANINGLESS ACCIDENTS.
00:01:23.51\00:01:27.38
BUT TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT A PROPHECY THAT'S IN
00:01:27.42\00:01:29.82
DANIEL CHAPTER 2. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
WAS THE KING OF BABYLON.
00:01:29.85\00:01:34.96
THIS EMPIRE WAS REALLY AT THE
ZENITH OF POWER FOR THE ANCIENT
00:01:34.99\00:01:39.49
EMPIRES, AND HE HAD A
VERY BROAD, EXTENSIVE EMPIRE.
00:01:39.53\00:01:43.37
ONE OF THE FIRST KINGDOMS YOU
FIND IN THE BIBLE WAS BUILT BY
00:01:43.40\00:01:46.43
NIMROD WHEN HE LEFT THE
TOWER OF BABEL AND HE FORMED
00:01:46.47\00:01:50.47
THE KINGDOM OF BABEL.
00:01:50.51\00:01:52.67
IF YOU READ IN DANIEL CHAPTER 2,
IT TELLS US THAT THE KING WENT
00:01:52.71\00:01:56.51
TO SLEEP ONE NIGHT AND HE
WAS TROUBLED ABOUT THE FUTURE.
00:01:56.54\00:01:59.91
HE HAD CONQUERED ALL THESE OTHER
KINGDOMS AROUND HIM AND HE'D
00:01:59.95\00:02:02.12
CONQUERED EGYPT AND
HE CONQUERED JERUSALEM.
00:02:02.15\00:02:04.52
HE CARRIED OFF CAPTIVE THOUSANDS
OF PRISONERS FROM JERUSALEM TO
00:02:04.55\00:02:08.09
BABYLON - AND THE AMMONITES, AND
THE MOABITES, AND THE EDOMITES,
00:02:08.12\00:02:11.39
AND THE KINGDOM OF
TYRE - AND MANY OTHERS.
00:02:11.43\00:02:13.33
AND HE HAD
BECOME A KING OF KINGS.
00:02:13.36\00:02:16.70
BUT HE WONDERED,
'HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?'
00:02:16.73\00:02:19.40
SO HE WENT TO BED TROUBLED AND
WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE AND GOD
00:02:19.43\00:02:23.07
GAVE HIM A MARVELOUS
DREAM - A VERY VIVID DREAM.
00:02:23.10\00:02:27.44
NOW, WE ALL HAVE KIND OF STRANGE
DREAMS THAT YOU KNOW ARE JUST
00:02:27.48\00:02:30.45
MEANINGLESS, BUT HE HAD A DREAM
THAT HE WAS ABSOLUTELY SURE - IT
00:02:30.48\00:02:35.78
WAS THREE DIMENSIONAL, IT
WAS VIVID, IT WAS DIVINE, AND HE
00:02:35.82\00:02:38.55
KNEW IT HAD A MEANING TO IT, BUT
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE MEANING
00:02:38.59\00:02:41.16
WAS. AND YOU CAN
READ ABOUT THIS NOW
00:02:41.19\00:02:43.89
- IF YOU GO WITH ME IN YOUR
BIBLES - IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES
00:02:43.93\00:02:45.79
THERE WITH YOU, THIS IS WHAT
HE DREAMED AND THIS IS DANIEL
00:02:45.83\00:02:48.53
RELATING THE DREAM.
"YOU, O KING, WERE WATCHING AND
00:02:48.56\00:02:52.33
BEHOLD, A GREAT IMAGE!
THIS GREAT IMAGE, WHOSE SPLENDOR
00:02:52.37\00:02:57.07
WAS EXCELLENT, STOOD BEFORE
YOU, AND ITS FORM WAS AWESOME."
00:02:57.11\00:03:01.51
SO HERE'S THIS GREAT, SPLENDID,
AWESOME IMAGE - "THIS IMAGE'S
00:03:01.54\00:03:06.45
HEAD WAS OF FINE GOLD, ITS CHEST
AND ARMS OF SILVER, ITS BELLY
00:03:06.48\00:03:13.02
AND THIGHS OF BRONZE, ITS LEGS
OF IRON, ITS FEET PARTLY OF IRON
00:03:13.05\00:03:18.33
AND PARTLY OF CLAY. YOU
WATCHED WHILE A STONE WAS
00:03:18.36\00:03:22.26
CUT OUT WITHOUT HANDS, WHICH
STRUCK THE IMAGE ON ITS FEET OF
00:03:22.30\00:03:25.10
IRON AND CLAY, AND
BROKE THEM IN PIECES.
00:03:25.13\00:03:28.10
THEN THE IRON, THE CLAY, THE
BRONZE, THE SILVER, AND THE GOLD
00:03:28.14\00:03:31.47
WERE CRUSHED TOGETHER,
AND BECAME LIKE CHAFF FROM THE
00:03:31.51\00:03:35.41
SUMMER THRESHING FLOORS,"
- THESE HEAVY METALS SUDDENLY
00:03:35.44\00:03:38.55
BECAME LIKE CHAFF - THEY BECAME
VERY LIGHT AND "THE WIND CARRIED
00:03:38.58\00:03:41.45
THEM AWAY SO THAT NO TRACE
OF THEM" - NOT JUST ONE LITTLE
00:03:41.48\00:03:45.32
PARTICLE - "NO
TRACE OF THEM WAS FOUND.
00:03:45.35\00:03:47.89
AND THE STONE THAT STRUCK THE
IMAGE BECAME A GREAT MOUNTAIN
00:03:47.92\00:03:52.66
AND FILLED THE WHOLE EARTH."
THIS DREAM OF THE AGES GIVES US
00:03:52.69\00:03:57.83
A PANORAMA OF HISTORY FROM
THE TIME NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD THE
00:03:57.87\00:04:02.87
DREAM UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD
- AND YOU SEE IF YOU CAN FIGURE
00:04:02.90\00:04:06.84
OUT WHERE WE ARE IN THE SCHEME
OF TIME AS WE LOOK AT THIS
00:04:06.88\00:04:10.38
TOGETHER. QUESTION
#1: WHY DID GOD GIVE
00:04:10.41\00:04:13.48
THE BABYLONIAN KING THIS DREAM?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WONDER, THE
00:04:13.52\00:04:16.95
ANSWER IS RIGHT THERE IN THE
BIBLE. "BUT THERE IS A GOD IN
00:04:16.99\00:04:19.69
HEAVEN THAT
REVEALETH" - WHAT? >>SECRETS.
00:04:19.72\00:04:22.19
- "SECRETS, AND MAKETH KNOWN
TO THE KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR WHAT
00:04:22.22\00:04:25.59
SHALL BE IN THE LATTER
DAYS." SO IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE
00:04:25.63\00:04:28.96
FUTURE. SECRETS OF THE FUTURE
ARE BEING REVEALED IN THIS DREAM
00:04:29.00\00:04:34.54
- SAYS THE PROPHET DANIEL -
OKAY? WELL, WHEN THE KING FIRST
00:04:34.57\00:04:38.51
HAD THIS DREAM, HE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANT.
00:04:38.54\00:04:42.08
HE INSTINCTIVELY CALLED FOR ALL
OF HIS WISE MEN AND COUNSELORS
00:04:42.11\00:04:45.61
AND THEY CAME ALONG - THEY
WERE ON THE PAYROLL FULL TIME -
00:04:45.65\00:04:49.05
SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE - YOU
KNOW, THEY WERE ASTROLOGERS AND
00:04:49.08\00:04:51.52
SOOTHSAYERS AND CARD
READERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
00:04:51.55\00:04:54.69
AND HE SAID, 'WHAT
DOES THIS DREAM MEAN?'
00:04:54.72\00:04:56.52
AND THEY SAID, 'OKAY, KING, TELL
US THE DREAM AND WE'LL TELL YOU
00:04:56.56\00:04:59.16
WHAT THE DREAM MEANS.' WELL, YOU
KNOW, YOU EVER HAVE A DREAM AND
00:04:59.19\00:05:03.23
WHEN YOU FIRST GET
UP IT'S JUST REAL VIVID?
00:05:03.26\00:05:05.47
AND TWENTY MINUTES LATER YOU'RE
HAVING TROUBLE - IT GETS FUZZY
00:05:05.50\00:05:08.37
PRETTY QUICK - BECAUSE YOUR
DREAMS ARE REALLY HAPPENING IN A
00:05:08.40\00:05:11.07
DIFFERENT PART OF YOUR BRAIN.
AND HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, THE
00:05:11.11\00:05:14.01
DETAILS ARE ALREADY STARTING TO
GET FUZZY.' HE SAID, 'YOU GUYS
00:05:14.04\00:05:16.58
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WISE
MEN THAT UNDERSTAND MYSTERIES.
00:05:16.61\00:05:19.08
HOW DO I KNOW THAT YOU'RE
NOT JUST MANUFACTURING - YOU'RE
00:05:19.11\00:05:22.32
GOING TO MAKE UP SOME
INTERPRETATION? PROVE TO ME
00:05:22.35\00:05:25.65
YOU'VE GOT SUPERNATURAL
ABILITY TO INTERPRET MY DREAM.
00:05:25.69\00:05:28.82
YOU TELL ME WHAT THE DREAM IS
AND THEN I'LL KNOW YOU CAN TELL
00:05:28.86\00:05:33.03
ME THE INTERPRETATION.' WELL,
THAT KIND OF FLUSHED THEM OUT
00:05:33.06\00:05:36.63
AND THEY SAID, 'OH NO,
THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS.
00:05:36.67\00:05:39.33
YOU TELL US THE DREAM, WE'LL
MAKE UP - I MEAN, WE'LL TELL YOU
00:05:39.37\00:05:43.20
AN INTERPRETATION.' HE SAID,
'NO.' AND HE STARTED GETTING MAD
00:05:43.24\00:05:47.31
BECAUSE THEY WERE BUYING
TIME AND STALLING AND HE SO MUCH
00:05:47.34\00:05:51.35
WANTED TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO
WHAT THIS MEANT THAT HE BECAME A
00:05:51.38\00:05:55.15
LITTLE IRRITATED. AND
THIS IS QUESTION #2: WHEN
00:05:55.18\00:05:57.35
THE KING'S COUNSELORS FAILED TO
REVEAL AND INTERPRET THE DREAM,
00:05:57.39\00:06:01.19
WHAT WAS
NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S COMMAND?
00:06:01.22\00:06:04.36
"THE KING COMMANDED TO DESTROY
ALL THE WISE MEN OF BABYLON."
00:06:04.39\00:06:10.13
WHEN DANIEL LEARNED ABOUT THE
DEATH DECREE, WHAT DID HE ASK OF
00:06:10.17\00:06:15.37
THE KING AND WHAT DID HE TELL
HIS FRIENDS? IT SAYS, "DANIEL
00:06:15.40\00:06:19.64
WENT IN, AND DESIRED OF THE KING
THAT HE WOULD GIVE HIM TIME, AND
00:06:19.67\00:06:25.91
THAT HE WOULD SHEW THE
KING THE INTERPRETATION."
00:06:25.95\00:06:28.85
THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY HE
"...MADE THE THING KNOWN TO
00:06:28.88\00:06:32.95
HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AND AZARIAH,
HIS COMPANIONS: THAT THEY WOULD
00:06:32.99\00:06:37.33
DESIRE MERCIES OF THE GOD
OF HEAVEN CONCERNING THIS" -
00:06:37.36\00:06:40.63
THERE YOU'VE GOT THAT
WORD AGAIN - "SECRET."
00:06:40.66\00:06:44.33
SO THEY WENT HOME AND
THEY HAD A PRAYER MEETING.
00:06:44.37\00:06:45.73
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU KNEW
YOU HAD TO DREAM SOMETHING THAT
00:06:45.77\00:06:48.17
I DREAMED - TELL ME WHAT
IT WAS OR YOU'RE GOING TO DIE?
00:06:48.20\00:06:52.54
WHEN THE LORD REVEALED THE DREAM
TO DANIEL, TO WHOM DID HE GIVE
00:06:52.57\00:06:56.81
PRAISE AND CREDIT?
DURING THE NIGHT, DANIEL WENT TO
00:06:56.85\00:06:58.71
SLEEP AND THE LORD GAVE
HIM THE SAME EXACT DREAM.
00:06:58.75\00:07:01.12
HE JUST KNEW, DIVINELY, THAT IT
WAS THE DREAM THE KING HAD HAD.
00:07:01.15\00:07:04.89
HE COULD HAVE SAID, 'WELL, I'VE
GOT THIS SUPERNATURAL ABILITY
00:07:04.92\00:07:07.36
AND I NEED A RAISE. I NEED A
PROMOTION.' HE DIDN'T SAY THAT.
00:07:07.39\00:07:11.29
HE SAID, "I THANK THEE, AND
PRAISE THEE, O THOU GOD OF MY
00:07:11.33\00:07:16.70
FATHERS." AND THEN
HE TOLD NEBUCHADNEZZAR
00:07:16.73\00:07:19.03
"...THERE IS A GOD IN
HEAVEN THAT REVEALETH SECRETS."
00:07:19.07\00:07:23.77
THERE'S THAT WORD AGAIN. HE
SAYS, "THOU, O KING, SAWEST,
00:07:23.81\00:07:27.91
AND BEHOLD, A GREAT IMAGE."
AND THEN HE SAID THE SECOND
00:07:27.94\00:07:31.91
THING WAS, BESIDE THE IMAGE,
"THOU SAWEST...THAT A STONE" -
00:07:31.95\00:07:37.42
SO YOU'VE GOT TWO PRINCIPLE
THINGS THAT ARE AT ODDS IN THIS
00:07:37.45\00:07:40.62
DREAM. ONE IS A STONE.
00:07:40.66\00:07:43.32
ONE IS A STATUE. ONE
REPRESENTS GOD'S KINGDOM.
00:07:43.36\00:07:47.03
THE IDOL - THE IMAGE -
REPRESENTS THE KINGDOMS OF MAN.
00:07:47.03\00:07:51.70
SO, LET'S START
TO DECIPHER THIS NOW.
00:07:51.73\00:07:54.54
DANIEL TELLS HIM THE DREAM, NOW
DANIEL BEGINS TO TELL HIM, 'WHAT
00:07:54.57\00:07:58.07
DOES THE DREAM MEAN?'
DANIEL SAID TO THE KING, "THOU
00:07:58.11\00:08:02.44
ART THIS HEAD OF
GOLD." NOW WHY DID HE SAY THAT
00:08:02.48\00:08:07.28
NEBUCHADNEZZAR
WAS THE HEAD OF GOLD?
00:08:07.32\00:08:09.05
BECAUSE THIS DREAM IS OUTLINING
THE HISTORY OF THE MAIN WORLD
00:08:09.08\00:08:14.06
EMPIRES THAT WOULD IMPACT
GOD'S PEOPLE THAT HAD SCRIPTURE
00:08:14.09\00:08:19.03
FROM THE TIME OF
DANIEL TO THE END.
00:08:19.06\00:08:21.80
DURING THE TIME OF
DANIEL, GOD'S PEOPLE HAD BEEN
00:08:21.83\00:08:24.43
CONQUERED AND WERE SCATTERED.
THE KINGDOMS THAT ARE MENTIONED
00:08:24.47\00:08:27.50
IN THIS DREAM ARE THE
ONES THAT HAD DIRECT IMPACT, IN
00:08:27.54\00:08:31.91
PARTICULAR, ON THE JEWISH PEOPLE
FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DREAM
00:08:31.94\00:08:35.71
AND ON THE CHURCH FOR
THE LAST PART OF THE DREAM.
00:08:35.74\00:08:38.58
BABYLON WAS CALLED THE HEAD
OF GOLD BECAUSE IT REALLY WAS A
00:08:38.61\00:08:41.35
GOLDEN EMPIRE. I
MEAN, IT'S JUST FASCINATING.
00:08:41.38\00:08:44.39
I'VE GOT A FEW FACTS HERE
JUST - THAT COME FROM THE FAMOUS
00:08:44.42\00:08:49.26
ANCIENT HISTORIAN, HERODOTUS
WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT BABYLON -
00:08:49.29\00:08:53.90
MATTER OF FACT, SOME
ARCHAEOLOGISTS SAY IT'S SO
00:08:53.93\00:08:56.20
PHENOMENAL THEY CAN'T EVEN
BELIEVE THAT IT'S ALL TRUE.
00:08:56.23\00:08:59.93
THE GREEK HISTORIAN FROM 450 BC
- HERODOTUS - HE SAID THE OUTER
00:09:00.04\00:09:03.81
WALLS OF BABYLON
WERE 56 MILES AROUND.
00:09:03.84\00:09:07.04
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? THERE'S
ROOM THERE IN THAT PLAIN.
00:09:07.08\00:09:11.51
THE WALLS WERE 300 FEET HIGH -
80 FEET THICK AT THE BOTTOM - 25
00:09:11.55\00:09:19.19
FEET THICK AT THE TOP AND TWO
FOUR-HORSE CHARIOTS COULD PASS
00:09:19.22\00:09:23.06
EACH OTHER ON TOP OF THE
WALL. IT WAS LIKE AN INTERSTATE.
00:09:23.09\00:09:26.46
IT WAS A SQUARE CITY WITH
APPROXIMATELY 15 - 14 MILES ON
00:09:26.49\00:09:31.20
EACH SIDE, BRICK WALLS SURFACED
WITH GLAZED BLUE AND GOLD
00:09:31.23\00:09:34.64
BRICKS. BEHIND THE MAIN
WALL WAS ANOTHER WALL - 75 FEET.
00:09:34.67\00:09:40.71
THE HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON -
ONE OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE
00:09:40.74\00:09:43.88
ANCIENT WORLD - THAT'S THE
PICTURE THAT YOU SEE ON THE
00:09:43.91\00:09:45.91
SCREEN.
NEBUCHADNEZZAR MARRIED THE
00:09:45.95\00:09:47.95
DAUGHTER OF THE KING OF THE
MEDES AND SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED
00:09:47.98\00:09:52.32
BECAUSE THE MEDIAN EMPIRE IN THE
NORTH HAD MOUNTAINS BUT BABYLON
00:09:52.35\00:09:56.36
IS ON A BIG VAST PLAIN AND
SHE FELT HOMESICK ALL THE TIME.
00:09:56.39\00:09:59.89
SO HE SAID, 'DON'T WORRY DEAR, I
WILL BUILD YOU A MOUNTAIN AND I
00:09:59.93\00:10:02.76
WILL FOREST IT.' AND SO HE MADE
THIS GREAT TERRACED GARDENS -
00:10:02.80\00:10:08.27
THEY SOMEHOW BUILT MACHINES FOR
PUMPING WATER EVEN BACK THEN.
00:10:08.30\00:10:12.27
SO THEY HAD TONS OF GOLD
EVERYWHERE - GREAT - THEY HAD A
00:10:12.31\00:10:17.21
TABLE OF GOLD THAT
WEIGHED TONS AND GOLD STATUES.
00:10:17.25\00:10:21.68
SO IT REALLY WAS
A GOLDEN KINGDOM.
00:10:21.72\00:10:24.55
SOME OF YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW
THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN - THAT WAS
00:10:24.59\00:10:28.59
HIS GREAT AMBITION - THAT HE
COULD RESTORE THE ANCIENT GLORY
00:10:28.62\00:10:33.26
FROM THE DAYS OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR
WHEN THEY WERE A WORLD EMPIRE.
00:10:33.29\00:10:36.90
MATTER OF FACT, THERE WAS A
JEWISH PROPHECY THAT SAYS THAT
00:10:36.93\00:10:41.70
BABYLON WOULD NEVER BE REBUILT
AND SADDAM HUSSEIN SPENT 500
00:10:41.74\00:10:45.31
MILLION DOLLARS TRYING TO
RESTORE ANCIENT BABYLON TO
00:10:45.34\00:10:49.14
THWART THIS JEWISH PROPHECY THAT
SAID IT WOULD NEVER BE REBUILT
00:10:49.18\00:10:52.35
AGAIN. AND IN THE
MIDST OF HIS FIRST
00:10:52.38\00:10:54.72
ATTEMPT TO REBUILD IT - YOU
CAN SEE EVEN SOME OF THE WORKERS
00:10:54.75\00:10:57.12
THERE - THE DESERT STORM CAME
ALONG AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO A
00:10:57.15\00:11:02.02
HALT - DRIED UP HIS RESOURCES -
THEN HE HAD JUST BEGUN TO TRY TO
00:11:02.06\00:11:05.79
REBUILD IT AGAIN WHEN THE
SECOND IRAQ WAR BROKE OUT AND
00:11:05.83\00:11:09.26
ULTIMATELY HE WAS ARRESTED
AND CAME TO AN UNHAPPY ENDING.
00:11:09.30\00:11:13.47
NOW HERE'S THE PROPHECY THAT YOU
FIND IN THE BOOK OF ISAIAH THAT
00:11:13.50\00:11:18.44
TALKS ABOUT WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN TO ANCIENT BABYLON AFTER
00:11:18.47\00:11:21.61
NEBUCHADNEZZAR. "AND
BABYLON, THE GLORY OF
00:11:21.64\00:11:23.81
KINGDOMS, THE BEAUTY OF THE
CHALDEANS' PRIDE, WILL BE AS
00:11:23.85\00:11:27.32
WHEN GOD OVERTHREW
SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:11:27.35\00:11:29.72
IT WILL NEVER BE INHABITED,
NOR WILL IT BE SETTLED FROM
00:11:29.75\00:11:32.55
GENERATION TO GENERATION;
NOR WILL THE ARABIAN PITCH TENTS
00:11:32.59\00:11:36.59
THERE, NOR WILL THE SHEPHERDS
MAKE THEIR SHEEPFOLDS THERE.
00:11:36.62\00:11:40.50
BUT WILD BEASTS OF THE DESERT
WILL LIE THERE, AND THEIR HOUSES
00:11:40.53\00:11:44.23
WILL BE FULL OF OWLS, OSTRICHES
WILL DWELL THERE, AND WILD GOATS
00:11:44.27\00:11:48.84
WILL CAPER THERE." AND YOU GO
THERE TODAY AND THERE'S NOTHING.
00:11:48.87\00:11:56.21
HE WAS NOT ABLE TO - I MEAN,
THERE'S SOME TOURIST SPOTS BUT
00:11:56.24\00:11:58.18
HE WANTED TO MAKE IT THE NEW
CAPITAL. GOD STOPPED THAT AGAIN.
00:11:58.21\00:12:02.08
SO, BACK TO DANIEL,
"AFTER THEE SHALL ARISE" - WHAT?
00:12:02.12\00:12:06.92
- ANOTHER KINGDOM INFERIOR
TO THEE." THESE THINGS ARE
00:12:06.96\00:12:11.36
DECREASING IN VALUE AS YOU
GO DOWN THROUGH THE METALS BUT
00:12:11.39\00:12:14.66
THEY ARE INCREASING IN HARDNESS
ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH THE
00:12:14.73\00:12:20.54
IMAGE, AND SO, JUST NOTICE THAT
AND I'LL SAY MORE ABOUT THAT.
00:12:20.57\00:12:23.81
ANOTHER PROPHECY THAT
TALKS ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO
00:12:23.84\00:12:26.47
BABYLON IS FOUND IN JEREMIAH.
"I WILL PUNISH THE KING OF
00:12:26.51\00:12:29.54
BABYLON, AND THAT NATION, SAITH
THE LORD, FOR THEIR INIQUITY,
00:12:29.58\00:12:32.88
AND THE LAND OF THE CHALDEANS,
AND WILL MAKE IT PERPETUAL
00:12:32.91\00:12:35.88
DESOLATIONS." IN
CHAPTER 5 OF DANIEL, IT TELLS
00:12:35.92\00:12:40.49
ABOUT HOW THAT HAPPENED.
NEBUCHADNEZZAR, AS I SAID, HE
00:12:40.52\00:12:43.83
REIGNED 45 YEARS, BUT
HIS GRANDSON WAS DIFFERENT.
00:12:43.86\00:12:47.73
HIS NAME WAS BELSHAZZAR -
BELSHAZZAR'S FATHER, NABONIDUS
00:12:47.76\00:12:52.20
WAS OUTSIDE THE KINGDOM TRYING
TO DEFEND THE KINGDOM FROM OTHER
00:12:52.23\00:12:54.50
NATIONS THAT
WERE MAKING INROADS.
00:12:54.54\00:12:56.10
BELSHAZZAR WAS LEFT IN CHARGE
- HE WAS, SORT OF, THE SECOND IN
00:12:56.14\00:13:00.24
COMMAND, BUT HE WAS CALLED THE
KING AT THAT POINT - AND HE HAD
00:13:00.28\00:13:04.45
A FEAST. NOW, THE
REASON HE HAD THIS
00:13:04.48\00:13:05.98
FEAST IS BECAUSE ALL SURROUNDING
THE KINGDOM OF BABYLON, THE
00:13:06.01\00:13:10.72
MEDES AND THE PERSIANS HAD COME
TO TRY TO CONQUER THE CITY, BUT
00:13:10.75\00:13:14.46
THEIR WALLS WERE SO MASSIVE,
THE YOUNG KING WANTED TO SHOW
00:13:14.49\00:13:18.26
DISDAIN AND SAID, 'I'M NOT
AFRAID OF THE MEDES AND THE
00:13:18.29\00:13:21.03
PERSIANS.' AND THE KING SAID,
'YOU'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF
00:13:21.06\00:13:23.93
MONEY AND
RESOURCES BEFORE WE DO.
00:13:23.97\00:13:25.57
WE'VE GOT THE WATER
COMING UNDER THE WALLS.
00:13:25.60\00:13:27.17
WE'VE GOT STORAGE GALORE IN THE
SILOS OF THE CITY.' AND SO THEY
00:13:27.20\00:13:30.94
HAD A BIG FEAST AND THE KING
BEGAN TO DRINK DURING THE FEAST.
00:13:30.97\00:13:34.84
AND THEN, TO SHOW THAT HIS GOD
WAS MORE POWERFUL THAN ALL THE
00:13:34.88\00:13:39.28
OTHER GODS - THE IDOLS THAT HE
WORSHIPED - HE SAID, 'DIDN'T WE
00:13:39.31\00:13:42.08
CAPTURE ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL
VESSELS OF GOLD FROM THE TEMPLE
00:13:42.12\00:13:45.85
IN JERUSALEM? I WANT TO
DRINK OUT OF THOSE VESSELS.
00:13:45.89\00:13:48.69
I WANT TO TOAST MY GOD
USING JEHOVAH'S VESSELS.
00:13:48.72\00:13:52.43
HE WAS MOCKING THE GOD OF
THE BIBLE. ALL OF A SUDDEN,
00:13:52.46\00:13:55.63
A BLOODLESS HAND APPEARED -
JUST A HAND - AND BEGAN TO WRITE
00:13:55.66\00:14:00.50
IN THESE CRYPTIC LETTERS -
BURNING LETTERS IN THE WALL -
00:14:00.54\00:14:04.11
AND YOU CAN IMAGINE
THAT EVERYBODY FROZE.
00:14:04.14\00:14:06.57
SO DANIEL CALLED IN - OLD MAN
- AND HE BEGINS TO TELL THEM.
00:14:06.61\00:14:09.14
THE WRITING SAID 'MENE MENE
TEKEL UPHARSIN.' THE HANDWRITING
00:14:09.18\00:14:12.51
ON THE WALL - YOU'VE
HEARD THAT EXPRESSION BEFORE?
00:14:12.55\00:14:14.58
MENE - 'GOD HATH NUMBERED THY
KINGDOM, AND FINISHED IT.' TEKEL
00:14:14.62\00:14:22.56
- 'THOU ART WEIGHED IN THE
BALANCES' - YOU'RE BEING JUDGED
00:14:22.59\00:14:25.36
- 'AND FOUND WANTING.'
- YOU'RE COMING UP SHORT.
00:14:25.39\00:14:28.53
YOU'RE GOING TO FAIL IN
THE JUDGMENT IN OTHER WORDS.
00:14:28.56\00:14:31.23
PERES - 'THY KINGDOM IS DIVIDED,
AND GIVEN TO THE MEDES AND
00:14:31.27\00:14:36.20
PERSIANS.' - WHO WERE OUTSIDE
THE WALL - AND AT THE VERY
00:14:36.24\00:14:39.27
MOMENT THAT DANIEL WAS IN THE
BANQUET HALL, CYRUS, THE PERSIAN
00:14:39.31\00:14:42.61
GENERAL OUTSIDE THE WALL,
HAD DONE SOMETHING BRILLIANT:
00:14:42.64\00:14:45.18
WITHOUT THE KING OF BABYLON
KNOWING, UPSTREAM - WAY UPSTREAM
00:14:45.21\00:14:49.45
IN THE EUPHRATES RIVER -
THERE WAS A DRY LAKE BED.
00:14:49.48\00:14:52.39
THEY DUG A GREAT CHANNEL RIGHT
NEXT TO THE EUPHRATES RIVER.
00:14:52.42\00:14:55.79
AT THE RIGHT MOMENT THEY BROKE
THE DAM SEPARATING IT, ALL THE
00:14:55.82\00:14:59.96
WATER WAS DIVERTED FROM
THE EUPHRATES RIVER AND BEGAN
00:15:00.06\00:15:02.23
TO RUN OFF INTO
THIS DRY LAKE BED.
00:15:02.26\00:15:04.20
THE WATER LEVEL WHERE IT
RAN UNDER THE WALLS OF BABYLON
00:15:04.23\00:15:06.97
DROPPED - IT WAS AT NIGHT - HIS
ARMY MARCHED UNDER THE WALLS AND
00:15:07.00\00:15:13.17
THE ARMY WENT IN, THEY OPENED
THE OTHER GATES, AND THE MEDES
00:15:13.21\00:15:16.04
AND THE PERSIANS CAME POURING
INTO THE CITY. THAT VERY NIGHT
00:15:16.08\00:15:19.18
BELSHAZZAR WAS SLAIN. NOW
CATCH THIS: I'M GOING TO READ
00:15:19.21\00:15:22.85
A PROPHECY TO YOU THAT WAS
WRITTEN BY ISAIAH THE PROPHET.
00:15:22.88\00:15:25.55
WE KNOW FROM THE DEAD SEA
SCROLLS THAT ISAIAH THE PROPHET
00:15:25.59\00:15:28.72
WROTE THESE THINGS BEFORE THEY
HAPPENED - 150 YEARS BEFORE THEY
00:15:28.76\00:15:32.89
HAPPENED, LISTEN TO WHAT ISAIAH
SAYS IN CHAPTER 45, "THUS SAYS
00:15:32.93\00:15:36.26
THE LORD TO HIS ANOINTED, TO
CYRUS," - NAMES HIM A HUNDRED
00:15:36.30\00:15:40.40
AND FIFTY YEARS BEFORE HE'S
BORN - "WHOSE RIGHT HAND I HAVE
00:15:40.44\00:15:42.94
HELD;" - I'M HELPING YOU - "TO
SUBDUE NATIONS BEFORE HIM AND
00:15:42.97\00:15:46.61
LOOSE THE ARMOR OF KINGS,
TO OPEN BEFORE HIM THE DOUBLE
00:15:46.64\00:15:51.51
DOORS, SO THAT THE
GATES WILL NOT BE SHUT."
00:15:51.55\00:15:54.18
AND YOU CAN GO TO THE BRITISH
MUSEUM AND THERE IS WHAT THEY
00:15:54.22\00:15:56.28
CALL THE CYRUS CYLINDER.
I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN THIS AND IN
00:15:56.32\00:15:58.95
THAT CYLINDER - IN CUNEIFORM
- THEY'VE TRANSLATED CUNEIFORM -
00:15:58.99\00:16:02.99
CYRUS TALKS ABOUT CONQUERING
BABYLON AND, I BELIEVE,
00:16:03.02\00:16:06.59
JERUSALEM IS EVEN MENTIONED
DURING THAT TIME BECAUSE HE
00:16:06.63\00:16:08.83
LATER LETS THE JEWS GO
BACK HOME AGAIN TO THEIR LAND.
00:16:08.86\00:16:12.20
SO NOW THE KINGDOM - THE
HEAD OF GOLD - PASSES FROM
00:16:12.23\00:16:14.94
NEBUCHADNEZZAR ONTO
THE MEDO-PERSIAN KINGDOM.
00:16:14.97\00:16:18.24
IT LASTED FROM
539 TO ABOUT 331 BC.
00:16:18.27\00:16:22.81
THEIR CAPITAL WAS PERSEPOLIS
AND THEIR MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE WAS
00:16:22.84\00:16:28.92
SILVER, SO IT WAS ENTIRELY
APPROPRIATE THAT THEY'RE
00:16:28.95\00:16:30.92
REPRESENTED HERE
BY THE SILVER ARMS.
00:16:30.95\00:16:32.79
WE'VE GONE FROM BABYLON TO
MEDO-PERSIA AND THEY HAD A VAST
00:16:32.82\00:16:37.49
KINGDOM, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE
THE SAME GLORY THAT BABYLON HAD.
00:16:37.53\00:16:41.40
QUESTION #8: WHAT METAL
WOULD REPRESENT THE KINGDOM THAT
00:16:41.43\00:16:44.27
FOLLOWED MEDO-PERSIA? ANSWER: IT
SAYS IN DANIEL, "ANOTHER THIRD
00:16:44.30\00:16:51.34
KINGDOM OF BRASS...SHALL
BEAR RULE OVER ALL THE EARTH."
00:16:51.37\00:16:56.85
NOW, DANIEL'S SAYING THIS
IS EVEN GOING TO HAVE A VASTER
00:16:56.88\00:16:59.25
TERRITORY THAN
THE PERSIAN KINGDOM.
00:16:59.28\00:17:01.82
WHAT KINGDOM CAME NEXT
AFTER THE PERSIAN KINGDOM?
00:17:01.85\00:17:05.05
IT WAS THE KINGDOM OF GREECE.
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD OF A
00:17:05.09\00:17:10.49
YOUNG MACEDONIAN RULER
BY THE NAME OF ALEXANDER?
00:17:10.53\00:17:13.66
BETTER KNOWN AS ALEXANDER
THE GREAT. AND HE CONQUERED THE
00:17:13.70\00:17:18.33
PERSIANS IN 331 VERY QUICKLY,
IN HIS BATTLES WITH DARIUS.
00:17:18.37\00:17:24.24
AND HE SWEPT IN JUST 11 YEARS
- HE SWEPT THROUGH THAT COUNTRY.
00:17:24.27\00:17:28.01
NOT ONLY DID HE TAKE THE
TERRITORY OF PERSIA, HE WENT OFF
00:17:28.04\00:17:30.98
INTO THE ELEMENTS OR THE
REGIONS OF INDIA AND UP THROUGH
00:17:31.01\00:17:34.85
AFGHANISTAN. BY THE
TIME HE WAS 21 YEARS OLD
00:17:34.88\00:17:38.19
HE HAD CONQUERED EGYPT. IT
WAS JUST PHENOMENAL WHAT HE
00:17:38.22\00:17:40.69
DID AND HOW FAR HE
MARCHED HIS ARMIES.
00:17:40.72\00:17:42.69
HE WAS A BRILLIANT GENERAL
- TRAINED BY SOME OF THE GREAT
00:17:42.72\00:17:44.83
GREEK PHILOSOPHERS - AND WHAT DO
YOU THINK THEIR ARMOR WAS MADE
00:17:44.86\00:17:49.10
OUT OF? THEY WERE
CALLED THE BRONZE SOLDIERS.
00:17:49.13\00:17:53.44
ALEXANDER'S KINGDOM LASTED A
LITTLE LONGER THAN THE PERSIAN
00:17:53.47\00:17:57.47
KINGDOM. EACH
KINGDOM IS LASTING LONGER,
00:17:57.51\00:17:59.81
BUT THE METAL IS
NOT WORTH QUITE AS MUCH.
00:17:59.84\00:18:03.08
BUT EVEN THOUGH ALEXANDER THE
GREAT COULD CONQUER MUCH OF THE
00:18:03.11\00:18:06.48
WORLD, HE COULD NOT CONQUER
HIMSELF AND HE ACTUALLY DIED IN
00:18:06.51\00:18:10.99
BABYLON AND - JUST SHY OF
33 YEARS OF AGE. AND THAT'S
00:18:11.02\00:18:16.99
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED - HIS
KINGDOM WAS DIVIDED INTO FOUR
00:18:17.03\00:18:19.83
PARTS BY HIS GENERALS
THAT ENDED UP WARRING AMONG
00:18:19.86\00:18:21.93
THEMSELVES. BUT THE
KINGDOM OF GREECE LASTED
00:18:21.96\00:18:26.33
FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS AND
THAT WAS DURING THE TIME OF 331
00:18:26.37\00:18:30.81
TO 168 BC. NOW,
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS
00:18:30.84\00:18:34.58
NEXT HERE? DANIEL
CHAPTER 2, VERSE 40,
00:18:34.61\00:18:38.95
"THE FOURTH KINGDOM
SHALL BE STRONG AS IRON."
00:18:38.98\00:18:42.88
AS MUCH AS IRON SUBDUES AND
BREAKS OTHER THINGS, IT WAS ONE
00:18:42.92\00:18:45.72
OF THE STRONGEST
METALS THEY HAD BACK THEN.
00:18:45.75\00:18:47.59
THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE KIND OF
REINFORCED STEEL - OR STAINLESS
00:18:47.62\00:18:50.59
STEEL - THAT WE HAVE NOW,
BUT YOU COULD TAKE A ROMAN SWORD
00:18:50.63\00:18:54.46
THAT WAS MADE OUT OF IRON AND
YOU COULD ACTUALLY BREAK A GREEK
00:18:54.50\00:18:58.80
SWORD MADE OUT OF BRONZE.
IT WAS DURING THE TIME OF THE
00:18:58.83\00:19:02.47
IRON MONARCHY OF
ROME THAT JESUS WAS BORN.
00:19:02.50\00:19:08.44
IT WAS THOSE ROMAN SOLDIERS
THAT WENT WITH THEIR IRON SWORDS
00:19:08.48\00:19:12.55
INTO BETHLEHEM
AND KILLED THE BABIES.
00:19:12.58\00:19:14.65
IT WAS AN IRON SPEAR THAT
PIERCED JESUS' SIDE - PROBABLY
00:19:14.68\00:19:19.12
IRON NAILS THAT
PIERCED HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET.
00:19:19.15\00:19:21.52
ROME WAS THIS IRON EMPIRE
AND JUST AS THE PERSIANS LASTED
00:19:21.56\00:19:25.79
LONGER THAN THE BABYLONIANS AND
THE GREEKS LASTED LONGER THAN
00:19:25.83\00:19:29.40
THE PERSIANS, THE ROMANS
LASTED LONGER THAN THE GREEKS.
00:19:29.43\00:19:33.84
QUESTION #10: WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
AFTER THE FALL OF THE ROMAN
00:19:33.87\00:19:37.11
EMPIRE? IT SAID, "THE KINGDOM
SHALL BE DIVIDED...AS THE TOES
00:19:37.14\00:19:42.94
OF THE FEET WERE PART OF IRON,
AND PART OF CLAY, SO THE KINGDOM
00:19:42.98\00:19:47.15
SHALL BE PARTLY
STRONG, AND PARTLY BROKEN."
00:19:47.18\00:19:50.95
AND AS ROME EXPANDED, IT TRIED
TO ENVELOPE SUCH A BIG TERRITORY
00:19:50.99\00:19:55.12
AND WHAT WAS ONCE A UNITED
MIGHTY VAST EMPIRE, BROKE UP
00:19:55.16\00:19:59.66
INTO WHAT WERE
ORIGINALLY TEN KINGDOMS.
00:19:59.69\00:20:02.86
AND THOSE TEN KINGDOMS, SOME OF
THEIR ANCIENT NAMES - AND I'LL
00:20:02.90\00:20:05.70
GIVE YOU THE MODERN EQUIVALENTS
- THE ALAMANNI, WHICH WERE THE
00:20:05.73\00:20:10.61
GERMANS, THEN YOU HAVE THE
FRANKS, WHICH WAS THE FRENCH,
00:20:10.64\00:20:13.31
THE BURGUNDIANS, WHICH WERE THE
- SWITZERLAND, THE SUEVI, WHICH
00:20:13.34\00:20:18.65
WAS PORTUGAL, THE LOMBARDS,
WHICH IS ITALY, THE VISIGOTHS,
00:20:18.68\00:20:23.28
WHICH IS SPAIN, THE ANGLO-SAXONS
- ENGLAND, AND THEN WHEN THEY
00:20:23.32\00:20:26.92
FIRST DIVIDED THEY ALSO HAD WHAT
WE CALL THE VANDALS - THAT'S
00:20:26.96\00:20:29.76
WHERE YOU GET VANDALISM, BECAUSE
THE VANDALS WENT AND BROKE ALL
00:20:29.79\00:20:31.36
THE - THEY DEFACED ALL THE
ROMAN STATUES - THEY CALLED THEM
00:20:31.39\00:20:34.36
VANDALS. THE VANDALS, THE
HERULI, AND THE OSTROGOTHS.
00:20:34.40\00:20:38.63
SO THE ROMAN EMPIRE BROKE
INTO TEN DISTINCT PARTS AND IT'S
00:20:38.67\00:20:42.50
BROKEN UP MANY TIMES SINCE THEN.
WELL, THAT WOULD PUT US DOWN
00:20:42.54\00:20:45.57
INTO THE END OF THIS IMAGE WHERE
YOU'VE GOT THIS - NOW YOU'RE
00:20:45.61\00:20:49.74
DOWN TO THE FEET OF NOT
JUST IRON, BUT IRON AND WHAT?
00:20:49.78\00:20:53.21
>>CLAY.
00:20:53.25\00:20:54.48
>>YOU KNOW WHAT ALL
MODERN CONCRETE IS BUILT OUT OF?
00:20:54.52\00:20:57.35
YOU EVER WATCH
THEM POUR CONCRETE?
00:20:57.39\00:20:59.82
IT'S MIRY CLAY AND IRON REBAR.
YOU KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER ONE
00:20:59.85\00:21:04.33
BUILDING MATERIAL IS IN
THE WORLD TODAY? CONCRETE.
00:21:04.36\00:21:07.83
WOULD THESE TEN KINGDOMS
EVER SUCCEED IN UNITING?
00:21:07.86\00:21:11.50
ANSWER: IT SAYS HERE, "THEY
SHALL MINGLE THEMSELVES WITH THE
00:21:11.53\00:21:15.74
SEED OF MEN:" - AND HERE YOU'VE
GOT IT - "BUT THEY SHALL NOT
00:21:15.77\00:21:21.54
CLEAVE ONE TO ANOTHER, - THEY'LL
NOT STICK ONE TO ANOTHER -
00:21:21.58\00:21:24.05
"EVEN AS IRON IS
NOT MIXED WITH CLAY."
00:21:24.08\00:21:27.35
THEY COULD NOT WELD TOGETHER,
EVEN THOUGH THEY TRIED.
00:21:27.38\00:21:30.82
MATTER OF FACT, YOU
CAN JUST LOOK AT HISTORY.
00:21:30.85\00:21:32.22
YOU'VE GOT EVERYBODY FROM
LOUIS THE XIV TO CHARLEMAGNE TO
00:21:32.25\00:21:35.89
NAPOLEON TO KAISER WILHELM
TO ADOLF HITLER - THEY WERE ALL
00:21:35.92\00:21:40.56
TRYING TO REFORGE - THE WORD
'KAISER,' DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT
00:21:40.60\00:21:42.96
MEANS IN GERMAN? CAESAR.
THE WORD CZAR, YOU KNOW WHAT
00:21:43.00\00:21:47.34
THAT MEANS IN
RUSSIAN? IT MEANS CAESAR.
00:21:47.37\00:21:50.31
THEY WERE ALL TRYING TO REGAIN
THE POWER OF THE CAESAR ONCE
00:21:50.34\00:21:53.44
AGAIN, BUT THE BIBLE SAYS THEY
WILL NOT CLEAVE ONE TO ANOTHER.
00:21:53.48\00:21:56.24
I UNDERSTAND ADOLF HITLER HAD A
CHRISTIAN SECRETARY AND WHEN SHE
00:21:56.28\00:22:01.12
FOUND OUT ABOUT HIS PLANS SHE
SAID, 'SORRY, MY FUEHRER, BUT
00:22:01.15\00:22:04.05
THIS WILL NOT WORK.' HE
SAID, 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN?'
00:22:04.09\00:22:05.35
SHE SAID, 'THE BIBLE SAYS IT
WILL NOT WORK, IN THE BOOK OF
00:22:05.39\00:22:07.72
DANIEL.' HE SAID,
'WELL, WE'LL CHANGE THE BIBLE.'
00:22:07.76\00:22:11.99
IT DIDN'T WORK
VERY WELL FOR HIM.
00:22:12.03\00:22:13.63
QUESTION #12: WHO WILL
SET UP THE FINAL KINGDOM?
00:22:13.66\00:22:17.97
"AND IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS
SHALL THE GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A
00:22:18.00\00:22:22.04
KINGDOM, WHICH
SHALL NEVER BE DESTROYED."
00:22:22.07\00:22:25.04
WHAT DOES THE STONE DO
TO THE OTHER WORLD KINGDOMS?
00:22:25.07\00:22:28.74
IT SAYS, "A STONE WAS CUT
WITHOUT HANDS, WHICH SMOTE THE
00:22:28.78\00:22:33.92
IMAGE UPON HIS FEET THAT WERE OF
IRON AND CLAY, AND" - DID WHAT?
00:22:33.95\00:22:38.95
>>BRAKE.
>>BRAKE THEM TO PIECES."
00:22:38.99\00:22:41.16
AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STONE?
IT SAYS, "AND THE STONE THAT
00:22:41.19\00:22:44.76
SMOTE THE IMAGE BECAME A GREAT
MOUNTAIN," - THE KINGDOM OF GOD
00:22:44.79\00:22:49.20
IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS 'THE
MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD WILL BE
00:22:49.23\00:22:51.43
GLORIOUS. WE'RE LIVING IN THAT
AGE OF IRON AND CLAY DOWN IN THE
00:22:51.47\00:22:55.07
TOES OF THAT IMAGE. THE
NEXT THING THAT HAPPENS IS
00:22:55.10\00:22:57.37
THE COMING OF CHRIST.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE LOOK ON
00:22:57.41\00:22:59.94
NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S
FACE AFTER HE SAW THIS?
00:23:00.04\00:23:02.01
"AFTER HEARING DANIEL'S CLEAR
INTERPRETATION OF THE DREAM,
00:23:02.04\00:23:06.48
WHAT DID NEBUCHADNEZZAR
SAY ABOUT THE LORD?
00:23:06.51\00:23:08.98
"THE KING ANSWERED UNTO DANIEL,
AND SAID, 'OF A TRUTH IT IS THAT
00:23:09.02\00:23:14.22
YOUR GOD IS A GOD OF GODS, AND
A LORD OF KINGS, AND A REVEALER
00:23:14.26\00:23:20.60
OF" - THERE'S THAT
WORD AGAIN - "SECRETS."
00:23:20.63\00:23:23.37
AND DANIEL TOLD THE KING,
"THE DREAM IS CERTAIN, AND
00:23:23.40\00:23:27.64
THE
INTERPRETATION THEREOF IS SURE."
00:23:27.67\00:23:30.87
GOD HAS GIVEN US A MAP OF
HISTORY AND THAT'S WHY THIS BOOK
00:23:30.91\00:23:32.97
IS SO POPULAR IS BECAUSE WE CAN
LOOK BACK ON HISTORY AND WE KNOW
00:23:33.01\00:23:36.91
THAT DANIEL WROTE THESE
THINGS BEFORE THEY HAPPENED.
00:23:36.95\00:23:40.12
THE NEXT THING THAT IS SUPPOSED
TO HAPPEN IN THIS VISION IS
00:23:40.15\00:23:42.75
CHRIST COMING. NOW
THESE ARE INTERESTING
00:23:42.78\00:23:45.65
PROPHECIES, BUT I HAVE TO BE
HONEST WITH YOU RIGHT UP FRONT.
00:23:45.69\00:23:48.82
WE DON'T DO THESE SEMINARS TO BE
FANTASTIC OR SENSATIONAL OR WOW
00:23:48.86\00:23:53.16
PEOPLE WITH THE
POWER OF PROPHECY.
00:23:53.19\00:23:55.10
ALL PROPHECY IS REDEMPTIVE AND
IF YOU KNOW THESE THINGS BUT YOU
00:23:55.13\00:23:59.63
DON'T KNOW JESUS,
IT WON'T SAVE YOU.
00:23:59.67\00:24:02.27
THE BIBLE SAYS EVEN THE
DEVILS BELIEVE AND TREMBLE.
00:24:02.30\00:24:05.41
THE REASON THE LORD GIVES US
THESE PROPHECIES IS SO YOU'LL
00:24:05.44\00:24:09.08
KNOW THAT GOD IS NOT SURPRISED
BY HISTORY - THERE'S A PLAN AND
00:24:09.11\00:24:12.78
HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR
LIFE. HE WILL NOT ACTIVATE AND
00:24:12.81\00:24:17.85
MOBILIZE THAT PLAN UNTIL YOU
GIVE HIM YOUR HEART AND THAT'S
00:24:17.89\00:24:21.62
SOMETHING YOU NEED TO DO. HE
WANTS YOU TO FIND THAT PEACE.
00:24:21.66\00:24:24.86
HE WANTS YOU TO FIND THAT
REST. HAVE YOU FOUND THAT REST?
00:24:24.89\00:24:28.53
HAVE YOU FOUND THAT PEACE?
ARE YOU PART OF GOD'S KINGDOM?
00:24:28.56\00:24:31.57
IF HE REIGNS IN YOUR HEARTS NOW,
YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT
00:24:31.60\00:24:34.74
THE NEXT PHASE OF
THIS VISION. AMEN, FRIENDS?
00:24:34.77\00:24:38.17

YOUR MARRIAGE IS GOOD - SUDDENLY
IT'S ON THE BRINK OF DIVORCE.
